I And I

 Am                                
Been so long since a strange woman 
      G
has slept in my bed
Dm                              
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free 
Am
must be her dreams
Am                                
In another lifetime she must have 
              G
owned the world, or been faithfully 
wed
    Dm                          
To some righteous king who wrote 
               Am
psalms beside moonlit streams

[Chorus]
Am
I and I
       G                 Dm  
In creation where one's nature 
           Am
neither honors nor forgives
Am
I and I
G                      Dm      
One says to the other, no man sees 
Am
my face and lives

[Verse]
Am                G
Think I'll go out and go for a walk
Dm                      Am
Not much happening here, nothing 
ever does
Am                             G
Besides, if she wakes up now, she'll
 just want me to talk
Dm                   Am
I got nothing to say, 'specially 
about whatever it was

[Chorus]
Am
I and I
       G                 Dm  
In creation where one's nature 
           Am
neither honors nor forgives

G                      Dm      
One says to the other, no man sees 
Am
my face and lives

[Verse]
Am                                
Took an untrodden path once, where
      G
 the swift don't win the race
Dm                           
It goes to the worthy, who can 
     Am
define the word of truth
Am                                
Took a stranger to teach me, to 
           G
look into justice's beautiful face
Dm                            
And see an eye for an eye and a 
   Am
tooth for a tooth

[Chorus]
Am
I and I
       G                 Dm  
In creation where one's nature

G                      Dm      
One says to the other, no man sees

[Verse]
Am                          
Outside of two men on a train 
                     G
platform there's nobody in sight
Dm                                
They're waiting for spring to 
   Am
come, smoking down the track
Am                           
The world could come to an end 
                 G
tonight, but that's all right
Dm                                
She should still be there sleeping
      Am
 when I get back

[Chorus]
Am
I and I
       G                 Dm  
In creation where one's nature 
           Am
neither honors nor forgives
Am
I and I
G                      Dm      
One says to the other, no man sees

[Verse]
Am                            
Noontime, and I'm still pushing 
                    G
myself along the road, the darkest 
part
Dm                           
Into the narrow lanes, I can't 
    Am
stumble or stay put
Am
Someone else is speaking with my 
mouth, but I'm listening with my 
heart
Dm                                
I've made shoes for everyone, even
               Am
 you, while I still go barefoot

[Chorus]
Am
I and I
       G                 Dm  
In creation where one's nature 
           Am
neither honors nor forgives
Am
I and I
G                      Dm      
One says to the other, no man sees 
Am
my face and lives
